Philly Cheesesteak Pizza – Leftover Revamp

July 14, 2014

Just the other week I made us a roast beef dinner. It was really good. Very tender and served with homemade gravy and roasted potatoes and vegetables. I bought the smallest roast I could and even though we ate plenty, there was still so much leftover. I mean a roast for just two people? You go into it knowing you’ll be making more than one meal of it.

After a few days of sandwiches and a dinner of open faced hot roast beef sandwiches with gravy I still had roast beef leftover! Really. It was time for this roast to be finished.
I didn’t want to make any more sandwiches or have the same meal again. I’ve been hearing a lot of expats talk about Philly Cheesesteaks lately so it must have been on the brain, but again, I really didn’t want another sandwich. I did feel like making pizza though….

Enter the Philly Cheesesteak Pizza! Now I’ll be very upfront about this pizza ~ It is not a cheese fest. If you are looking for something ooey, gooey and cheesy, please by all means, add more cheese. This pizza does have a rich, creamy, garlicy white base that is topped with thinly sliced roast beef, yellow onions and green peppers (capsicum). It is finished off with deli sliced provolone cheese and a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese. Really delicious.

If you find you have some leftover roast beef give this pizza a go! Of course, if you don’t have leftover roast beef but still crave this (as I do right now), don’t worry, you still have options. You can either get some thinly sliced roast beef from the deli, or you can cook a steak and slice it thinly to top your pizza. Either will work.
